Age: 6-7 (as Conan); 17 (as Shinichi) Height: Unknown (as Conan); 174 cm (as Shinichi) Weight: 18 kg (as Conan) Date of Birth: May 4 Relatives: Yuusaku Kudou (father) and Yukiko Kudou (mother) Nicknames: Cool Kid (Jodie Starling), Cool Guy (Vermouth), Silver Bullet-kun (Vermouth), Glasses Kid (Sonoko Suzuki), Holmes' Apprentice (Apollo & Minerva Glass) At the start of the series, Shinichi Kudou is a 17-year-old student at Teitan High School. He is already renowned as a brilliant young detective, the "Savior of the police force," for solving many complex cases that stumped professionals. However, while investigating two mysterious men, he is spotted and forced to ingest an experimental poison known as APTX 4869. This causes his body to shrink to that of a 6-year-old. Shinichi adopts the alias Conan Edogawa, inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle and Ranpo Edogawa, and pretends to be a distant relative of Professor Agasa, who places Conan in Ran's care. Ran's father, Mouri Kogorou, owns a Detective Agency which Conan uses to uncover cases involving the Black Organization. As Conan, Shinichi assists Ran's father in solving cases by putting him to sleep and mimicking Kogorou's voice using a special bowtie gadget created by Professor Agasa. By solving cases one after another, he helps build up Kogorou's reputation, leading to him being called "Sleeping Kogorou." Conan also spends considerable time with the Detective Boys, solving small cases with them and sometimes with Professor Agasa. Conan remains very close to Ran, who is very protective of him. However, because Ran is unaware of his true identity, Conan often finds himself in awkward situations with her, such as when she confessed her feelings for Shinichi to him or made him bathe with her at a hot spring. Conan's intelligence remains intact despite his physical transformation. As Shinichi, his deductive skills earned him the nicknames "Heisei Holmes" and "Savior of the Japanese police force." Conan retains an extensive knowledge of various subjects and trivia that aid him in solving cases and escaping tricky situations. Conan tries to speak in a child-like manner when dealing with adults but often gets caught up in the case and begins speaking like an adult, referring to advanced topics and using reasoning too complex for a normal child. When this happens, he often claims it was "something [he] heard on TV" or "taught by Uncle Kogoro/Professor Agasa/Shinichi-niichan." Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for Sherlock Holmes and soccer. If questioned about discussing these subjects in too much detail, he tries to escape suspicion by saying it was something Shinichi told him. Although the adults around him have become more accustomed to his "being quite smart for a child," causing him to behave more like himself around them, he still tries to pass as a normal child. The only police officers with whom Conan can speak professionally are the FBI, especially Jodie Starling, Shuichi Akai, James Black, and Inspector Kansuke Yamato of the Nagano Police, all of whom suspect there is more to Conan than meets the eye. Conan tends to act more like himself around the Detective Boys, even to the point that they find it odd when he acts like a child around adults. He will often play games like baseball with the Detective Boys, but being used to soccer, he instinctively uses soccer techniques, such as kicking in games that do not call for it. Because he is unfamiliar with popular games and TV shows and bad at video games, Genta and the others tend to think of him as dumb. This annoys Conan so much that he secretly watches TV in the living room after Kogoro and Ran go to sleep to get more "practice."
